Abstract

For the economic production of gas in a ferrous-bath-reactor in which reactant fuel is introduced below the bath surface and oxygen, and air or a mixture thereof is introduced below or above the level of the ferrous melt, slag which occurs in steel production is used as the desulphurizing slag in the ferrous- bath-reactor. Iron may be produced by reduction of iron oxide in the slag and iron ore may be added to the reactor. The iron may be tapped to feed a steel making furnace.

Description

SPECIFICATION Production of gas in a ferrous-bath-reactor This invention relates to the production of gas in a ferrous-bath-reactor in which the reactant fuel is introduced (in soiid and/or liquid form), into the reaction vessel below the surface of the ferrous bath whilst the reactant oxidising gas, for example oxygen, oxygen-enriched air, or air, is introduced below and/or above the level of the ferrous melt.
-There are known methods of causing fuels, not ab ty coal, to react with oxygen or oxygen-containing gases in a ferrous-bath and to produce a reaction gas which consists essentially of CO and H2. A special advantage of gas production in a ferrous-bathreactor resides in that the sulphur in the fuel is very largely absorbed by a slag.
German AS 2520 883 describes a method for the continuous gasification of coal or of carbonaceous fuels, in a ferrous-bath-reactor, in which the fuels and oxgyen, or oxygen-containing gases (the latter being enveloped by hydrocarbons), are introduced into the melt though tuyereswhich are arranged below the melt surface. Slag-formers, primarily limedust with or without an admixture or limestone, e.g. dolomite, are either propelled into the melt by the oxygen jets, or they are injected as an admixture to finely granular coal.
German PS 25 20 584 describes a process for the gasification of sulphurous coal in a ferrous-bathreactor in which a portion of the sulphurous slag is continuously drawn off in liquid form, desulphurized and returned in liquid form to the reactor bath. This method was found to have special advantages, particularly in respect of the calorific balance of the gasification process.
The known processes reveal different methods of gasifying carbonaceous fuels in a ferrous-bathreactor with a view to obtaining reaction gases which are largely sulphur-free, but all known processes involve the use of lime or limestone, potentially with admixtures of MgO or of dolomite, to produce a desulphurizing slag. The application of lime as a slag former, however, has two major drawbacks. First, there is the additional cost of the lime itself and, secondly, there is the expense of heating the lime to the temperature of the reaction bath. For instance, in order to gasify 1 tonne of coal it is necessary to add approximately 100 kg CaO with a sulphur content of about 1%. The current price of 1 tonne of lime dust is inthe region of DM 100.-- and a further sum of approximately DM 65.-- is needed for the energy required to heat this lime to the bath temperature.If cheaper lime stone is used the energy costs for heating and deoxidation in the ferrous bath reactor are so high that this method is even less economical.
It is the aim of the present invention to provide a desulphurization method for the production of coal gas in a ferrous reactor bath which is particularly attractive from an economical point of view.
According to the present invention this aim is achieved by using steelworks slags which are the normal byproduct of steel production as desuiphurizing slags in the ferrous-bath-reactor.
The steelworks slag may be fed into the reactor in different ways. For example, the slag may be charged in molten form (either batchwise or continuously) or in piece- or lump form on top of the surface of the ferrous melt in the reactor, or it may be injected in powder form below and/or above the surface of the melt in the reactor vessel. Powdered slag may also be admixed to the fuel, for example coal, which is to be gasified in the reactor.
In a particularly attractive and economical manner the steelworks slag may be introduced in molten form into the reactor vessel as a base-carrier for desulphurization in the ferrous reaction bath. This method can be easily applied where a ferrous-bath reactor-type coal-gas generating plant is sited close to a steelworks, as is generally the case, for example, in iron- or steelworks with an associated power station. In that event the gas which is produced in accordance with the present invention can be readily burnt in the boiler plant of the power station.
The use of steelworks slags according to the present invention affords a considerable saving because these slags are cheap and readily available, their range of potential further utilisation being otherwise somewhat narrowly limited. An added advantage resides in that this range of potential further utilisation of such slags is improved after they have worked as desulphurizing slags in the ferrous-bath-reactor and their composition has been modified by the incorporation of coal ash. In fact their composition is then closely similar to that of conventional blast furnace slags so that they can be further processed in a similar manner in the cement of building materials industries.
The slags which occur in steelworks, for example in the refining of low-phosphorous pig iron, according to the various converter-oxygen-refining methods, have approximately the following compositions: 50% CaO, 10% SiO2 30% FeO, 0.1% S, the remaining ingredients being essentiallyAl2O3, MgO, MnO and P205. Conveniently, the basicity of the slag (i.e. CaO/SiO2) is between 3 and 5 initially and is subsequently modified in the reactor to between 1 and 2.
The desulphurization method according to this invention for the production of gas in a ferrous-bathreactor conveniently makes use of these slags because their initial sulphur content is low, that is to say in the region of 0.08 to 0.12% and there is therefore a high capacity for sulphur absorption up to about 10% sulphur content. It is however preferable to restrict the sulphur content in the slags to about 3% because this means that they still come within the range of conventional blast furnace slags and can be further processed in a similar manner.
The application of steelworks slags, for example from a steel production converter, for desulphurization in the ferrous-bath-gas generator affords the added advantage that the content of iron oxide from these slags is reduced and thus additional iron is obtained in the gasification aggregate. This iron may be tapped in molten form batchwise from the reactor vessel and fed to the steel production plant. This is another favourable aspect of operating a ferrousbath reactor, for instance for coal gas production in an iron- or steelworks.
By virtue of the method according to this invention it is possible to remove almost completely the sulphur content in a coal which is to be gasified in the metallurgical slag which floats on the molten iron in the gasifiation aggregate. The product gas has a very low sulphur content - of the order of about 10 ppm. This shows that more than 99% of the sulphur are tied up in the slag.
The application of a method according to this invention has special economic advantages in gas production from types of coal which have a high sulphur or ash content.
In such cases, if, as hitherto customary, lime were added for slag formation, very large amounts of lime would be needed which would have a corresponding adverse cost effect and could potentially also entail the necessity of feeding additional energy to the batch because this type of coal, requiring so much lime, is no longer capable of autothermal gasification.
It is within the scope of this invention to feed water to the ferrous-bath reactor in orderto increase the concentration of hydrogen in the gas product. For preference in the gasification of types of coal which are rich in energy and afford an energy surplus in the gasification process, the liberated heat may be used to split water into hydrogen and oxgyen and whereas the hydrogen escapes from the melt the oxygen reacts with the carbon in the ferrous melt to form CO.
The water may be added below the surface level of the melt either in liquid form or in vapour form as steam. It goes without saying that it may also be introduced in spray or mist form in suspension by means of a suitable propellant gas. It may further be admixed to the coal which is to be gasified, or it may be incorporated in the coal in the form of a higher moisture content. For instance, it was found useful to charge the coal without previously drying it, with a constant water content, or to subject the coal only to a partial drying process in order to have a controlled specified moisture content at which it is introduced into the ferrous melt in the reaction vessel.
Thus the application of the steelworks slags for desulphurization purposes in the production of gas in a ferrous-bath-reactor according to the present invention has special economical and other advantages in several directions. By virtue of its chemical composition it is well suited for the function of a desulphurization slag in coal gas production and, if added in liquid form to the gasification aggregate it also saves energy which would otherwise be required to heat up the slag forming components.
Furthermore, after its utilisation in the ferrous-bathreactor the chemical composition of the steelworks slag has been modified in such a way that the slag is then suitable for use in cement production and in the building industry. For example, the slag may be modified in the reactor by fuel ash so that it has a basicity of between 1 and 2, and a final sulphur content of between 2% and 10%. This means that additionally to the resulting economic advantages there is the further advantage that there is no storage problem of the kind encountered with non-re-usable slags. The iron oxide percentage in the steelworks slag is reduced in the ferrous-bathreactor, and a pig iron is formed which can be turned into steel in the steelworks.
The desulphurization process as applied to gas production in a ferrous-bath-reactor in accordance with the present invention offers substantial advantages in the gasification of conventional types of coal or carbonaceous fuels if it involves the energysaving application of molten slag in as much as a higher proportion of energy is available for the reduction of the iron oxide in the ferrous-bathreactor. Over and above this it is also an objective of the present invention to utilise sulplus energy for the production of iron from iron ore orfrom pre-reduced iron ore.
In the context of the present invention one example of a ferrous-bath-reactor may be described, for example, as follows: A vessel which is basically similar to a converter, having an interior volume of approximately 150 m3, is charged first of all with 120 tonnes of molten iron having a carbon content of approximately 4%, to which 30 tonnes of molten slag from the LD process are added. In this ferrous-bath-reactor coal having a composition of 78.3% C, 5.0% H, 6.7% 02,5.0% ash, 751 0Kcal/kg Hu is gasified at the rate of 50 tonnes of coal per hour. The coal is fed into the bath below the surface level of the melt and gasified with the aid of oxygen which is also injected through the bottom of the vessel.Iron ore, for example in granulate or pellet form, may be added at the same time at the rate of 30 tonnes per hour, the fine granulate being injected by means of tuyeres arranged in the lower region of the converter whilst ore in lump or pellet form will be added to the melt from above. At the end of an operating time of 4 hours approximately 50 tonnes of slag and 210 tonnes of iron with approximately 2%C content will have accumulated in the converter so that the iron ore (which may be wholly or partly in pre-reduced form) will be reduced or further reduced in the ferrous-bath-reactor.
At this point the slag is, preferably completely, drawn off the converter and about 90 tonnes of iron are tapped off. More molten LD slag is then added to the melt at the above mentioned rate and the process continues in the same manner. The produced gas is conducted through a gasometer to suitable places of further utilisation. The capacity of a conventional gasometer is generally sufficient to ensure a continuous supply to consumers over tHe period of non-gas production required to remove the slag and the steel and to charge the new slag, which amounts to approximately 5 minutes.
The molten iron in the reactor can be tapped batchwise and/or continuously therefrom and may contain approximately 0.3% sulphur and approxi mately 0.1% phosphorus. Following a desulphurization process it can then be refined into steel in a known manner, for instance in a converter.
